Day 1

from Cilipi to Ulcini or Bad luck turns good

sunny 20 °C

I had bad luck that turned good luck after all. I missed the only bus to Crna Gora by ten or fifteen minutes, but in less than two hours a nice guy from Ulcini, Crna Gora gave me a lift all the way down to his town, close to the Albanian border.
This guy, Samir, is Muslim of Albanian origin like the majority in town.
He works in Frankfurt, Germany. To show my appreciation I paid the ferry fare (4 Euro) at Kotor bay, but when I bought water he didn't let me pay.
Parts of Ulcini are ruined or neglected, some Israelis would say 'look like Gaza', but they build new houses, many of them as tourist's accommodations. I got a nice room just 10 min. walking down to the wonderful sea shore (but hard 15 min. climb back).
The water was too cold for me so I didn't swim, only dipped my feet in the sea.
